It is the 1st Century AD and Rome is establishing the province of Britannia, not always with the co-operation of the locals! Rufford is not yet a settlement, but the ford is well known and frequently used. Meet Imperial legionary and auxiliary soldiers and fearsome British warriors, compare armour weapons and the different fighting techniques, and see the deadly Roman Catapulta arrow-shooter in action! There's a living history tented village and Roman marching camp to explore, with crafts, period cooking and lots more to see. Junior (and not so junior) visitors are invited to "join Queen Boudicca's army" and find out what it was like for brave but poorly-armoured tribesmen to attack the professional, heavily armoured legions of Rome. Presented by Legio VIII Augusta MGV and The Vicus . Rufford Country Park, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire Contact: EventPlan
